Lyrics
I’ve been stuck chasing your perfect moments
I've been preoccupied pursuing the ideal moments associated with you.
Falling for you only through a screen
Falling in love with you, but the connection is only virtual, through a screen.
You get away with anything if you own it
You can get away with anything if you confidently own it.
COVERGIRL virtual daydream
Reference to the superficiality and artificiality of a virtual world, likening it to a COVERGIRL virtual daydream.
Ive been in and out of my
Expressing a state of fluctuation between thoughts and emotions.
Head and I found I seem to get lost up in it
Getting lost in one's own thoughts, particularly those that may be troubling or confusing.
All to forget who we are for a minute
Choosing to forget one's true self momentarily, perhaps in the pursuit of escaping reality.
Just a minute
Emphasizing a short duration of distraction or escape.
Maybe I know you better in my head
Suggesting a deeper understanding or connection with the person in one's imagination rather than reality.
I know it’s been a long time coming
Acknowledging that it has taken a considerable amount of time for a realization or understanding to develop.
If only I could show you but you slipped away
Expressing regret for not being able to demonstrate feelings before the person disappeared.
I never had a chance to
Reflecting on missed opportunities or the lack of a chance to express feelings.
Lost fascination scrolling aimlessly
Feeling disinterested or bored while scrolling through content without purpose.
Making my way through the filtered truth
Navigating through a distorted version of reality, influenced by filtered information.
Same 10 faces flashing on the screen
Observing a repetition of a limited set of individuals in the virtual space.
Convincing myself it’s something new
Convincing oneself that there is novelty in the familiar faces encountered online.
If I met you for an instant
Contemplating the possibility of meeting the person briefly, but unsure of what would be said.
Would I even say anything
Doubting whether any meaningful communication would occur in a brief encounter.
I think I’m fine knowing you from a distance
Content with maintaining a distant connection rather than seeking closeness.
Would it be better to dream
Questioning whether it would be preferable to continue dreaming about the person.
Maybe I know you better in my head
Reiteration of the idea that the person is better understood or appreciated in one's imagination.
I know it’s been a long time coming
Acknowledging the prolonged nature of the realization about the person.
If only I could show you but you slipped away
Expressing regret for the missed opportunity to demonstrate feelings before the person disappeared.
I never had a chance to
Reflecting on missed opportunities or the lack of a chance to express feelings, repeated from line 12.
I wanna know what it is and have I lost it
Expressing a desire to understand what something is and questioning if it has been lost.
I wanna see you in the light that I once did
Expressing a wish to see the person in a positive light as before.
Can we go back to days of innocence when
Nostalgia for a time of innocence when nothing had changed.
Nothing had changed
Recalling a time when everything was pure and unaltered.
Maybe I know you better in my head
Reiteration of the idea that the person is better understood or appreciated in one's imagination.
I know it’s been a long time coming
